Map Reporting Clustering Functionality

[Yemo]

Greetings,

I  was wondering whether this is a feature request or something the map control can already do.

Is it not possible on large datasets for the map to cluster data points together and show a clustered total marker?

The map already seems to have implemented many of the underlying features (grouping, varying bubble sizes etc) so a "clustered bubble" displaying a total would have been ideal and not make the map too cluttered, especially if illustrated on a tiled background.

If its already possible, some sample code would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Yemo,

Telerik Reports are data-driven, meaning that all the grouping, aggregation, etc. depend on the incoming data.

Can you elaborate on your requirement? How would you like the data to be clustered, and on what criteria? Do you mean the neighbor data points to be shown as one? For example, if there are common pixels when visualized? What should happen on zoom?

Unfortunately, currently, we don't have such functionality. You may consider restructuring your data, for example, by including additional groups that would let you aggregate the data as required.

Todor,

Many thanks for your response. As you suggested, it is really to report on  "the neighboring data points" and "to shown as one" in reports where the underlying data points would cause a "busy looking" map to be shown.

I have attached a sample illustration to embellish the point. I did not consider "zoom" scenarios since I do believe a report is a snapshot of a given scenario (even if the reporting interactivity might support zooming)

Best regards

Hello Yemo,

Thank you for clarifying the requirement. Unfortunately, we don't support the scenario.

The Reporting engine is designed to group based on data. As a workaround, you may restructure the data to perform the required grouping. For example, you may create a dedicated data field that takes into account the location with proper rounding depending on the zoom, and aggregate the data based on a grouping by its value.
